README excerpt

# InServiceOfX
Monorepo (single or "mono" repository) for deep learning.

## Creating and starting a uv environment for Python 3 to get started

```
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```

Then proceed to build one of the Docker images in `Scripts/DockerBuilds/Builds/` (Make a local copy and configure the necessary `*.txt` files, then run `python BuildDocker.py`)

## (Deprecating) Creating and starting a virtual environment for Python 3

Create a directory for a virtual environment:

```
/InServiceOfX$ python3 -m venv ./venv/
```

Activate it:
```
/InServiceOfX$ source ./venv/bin/activate
```
You should see the prompt have a prefix `(venv)`.

Deactivate it:
```
deactivate
```

## Setting up a Virtual Machine

Requiring manual effort:

- edit `/etc/docker/daemon.json` for place to put Docker containers, in field "data-root"

```
docker info | grep 'Docker Root Dir'
```

Example `/etc/docker/daemon.json`
```
{
    "data-root": "/mnt/ey/docker",
    "runtimes": {
        "nvidia": {
            "args": [],
            "path": "nvidia-container-runtime"
        }
    }
}
```
